Human Smuggling and Trafficking Center UNCLASSIFIEDUNCLASSIFIED T Human Smuggling and Trafficking Center HSTC Intelligence Note Tenancingo Bulletin #7: Building Trust to Diminish Trafficking HSTC 2011010013 January 10, 2011 UNCLASSIFIEDUNCLASSIFIED 1 UNCLASSIFIED (CONTEXT STATEMENT: The information in this report was provided by the Human Smuggling and Trafficking Center (HSTC) in collaboration with the participating agencies of the HSTC. The HSTC is an interagency fusion center and information clearinghouse, composed of representatives from various governmental agencies, and focused on matters of human smuggling, human trafficking, and the facilitation of terrorist travel. The HSTC provides the U.S. Government with a mechanism to achieve greater integration and overall effectiveness in its efforts to eliminate these activities. The HSTC is unique among U.S. organizations and centers in that it concentrates on illicit worldwide travel and provides guidance to U.S. Government policymakers.) Scope Note: This is the seventh in a series of bulletins at the unclassified level based solely on open source reporting intended to inform federal, state, and local law enforcement about the Tlaxcala, Mexico-based sex trafficking network with ties to the U.S. (U) Building Trust to Diminish Trafficking (U) Tlaxcala state, Mexico is known for high levels of official corruption and low government accountability. The inability to provide effective law enforcement in response to a documented trafficking problem has decimated Tlaxcalan citizens’ trust in government. Until Tlaxcalan authorities provide effective prosecution for these crimes, the state will remain a trafficking hub. In spite of Tlaxcalan authorities’ longstanding abuses, the state could benefit from concrete short and long-term measures to increase trust and accountability, setting up a virtuous cycle that bolsters the effective government provision of security. (U) Authorities’ Complicity Keeps Traffickers in Business (U) Tlaxcala is the third-most corrupt state in Mexico, according to Transparency Mexico's 2007 survey, with nearby Puebla, a major Tlaxcalan trafficking recruitment ground, just one place behind.1 Tlaxcalan government kick-backs are institutionalized in the local language, with officials skimming a standard 10 percent fee, known as a diezmo, for basic transactions, and the level of government abuse and misuse is recognized and condemned by the Catholic dioceses of Tlaxcala.2, 3 Mexican media sources highlighted corruption within the state environment ministry, agriculture ministry, and health services, just during the month of October.4,5,6 (U) According to Tlaxcala-focused non-profit Centro Fray Julián Garcés, numerous Tlaxcalan organizations have denounced trafficking crimes since 2005, without any improvement in trafficking or prosecution trends.7 Complicity between pimps and law enforcement authorities explains how such a well know sex trafficking enterprise remains unchecked, according to a Mexican anthropologist expert on Tlaxcala trafficking.8 (U) Crimes go Unreported and Curb Much-Needed Opportunity (U) Fear of retaliation from authorities who are aware of crimes, but do not act in accordance with Mexican law, makes citizens less likely to report and crimes less likely to be prosecuted. Tlaxcala and several southern states evidence societal stresses that UNCLASSIFIED 2 UNCLASSIFIED make them more vulnerable to corruption, including a higher presence of poverty, minority ethnic groups, and economic inequality. When officials’ efforts to investigate, detect, and respond to trafficking crimes do not effectively enforce Mexican law, a fragile situation of limited public trust and spiraling government ineptitude results.9 (U) This culturally and historically imbedded corruption reproduces inequalities of wealth and privilege and perpetuates opportunities and incentives for further abuses. 10 Corruption discourages investors, thereby reducing growth and economic opportunity, and assuring that Tlaxcala remains a state of poor, uneducated potential victims and poor, easily enticed prospective traffickers. 11 (U) Opportunity Analysis: Where to Grow Trust and Rule of Law (U) Tlaxcalans can build trust through the provision of basic services -- in this case, the rule of law -- in credible and demonstrable ways that gradually rebalance the stresses on and capabilities of the state, thereby changing citizens’ expectations of government, improving law enforcement institutions, and raising citizen participation. Tlaxcala must boost its capability to deliver and be seen publically delivering law enforcement in these notorious trafficking crimes.12 (U) In the short-term, Tlaxcala might build public expectations and strengthen the links between citizens and the state through effective public messaging, evaluations of the provision of government security services, and incentives when law enforcement objectives are achieved. Concrete tactics could include: - (U) Framing corruption control in terms of fighting poverty and improving quality of life, thereby emphasizing the connection between reform and citizens’ interests; - (U) Conducting and publishing regular performance reviews that make non- governmental and citizen input central; - (U) Publically citing and rewarding officials responsible for improved performance and requiring those who do not deliver to account for their results; - (U) Allocating resources to reward agencies and jurisdictions. Since trafficking crimes are not equally acute nor responses equally strong throughout Mexico, authorities might design measures of law enforcement anti-trafficking efforts to be regionally specific. The U.S. non-profit Polaris Project provides one model which rates U.S. states according to trafficking, asset forfeiture laws, officer training, victim assistance, among other anti-trafficking law enforcement indicators.13 The federal government might implement a race to the top of Mexican states toughest on trafficking; UNCLASSIFIED 3 UNCLASSIFIED (U) To dislodge a deeply imbedded culture of government incompetence and malfeasance, Tlaxcala might continue officials’ and citizens’ transparency training. This could include the establishment and/or amplification of: - (U) Law enforcement officer and judiciary training to enhance professionalism, independence, and credibility; and - (U) Transparency curriculums in schools and workplaces. The Tlaxcala University created some foundations with its, "Don't keep quiet. Speak out," campaign encouraging whistleblowers and its business sector and teacher transparency training initiatives.14,15,16 (U) The implementation and publically visible results of any number of these steps would provide real evidence to government officials that reform is underway – convincing them that “the train has left the station” –dis-incentivising a return to shady practices and beginning a virtuous cycle of gradually increasing trust and transparency. (U) To the contrary, without reliable enforcement of Mexican trafficking laws in Tlaxcala, citizen mistrust in government will serve only to exacerbate the state’s security woes. Absent concerted plans to grow Tlaxcalan public trust and government anti-trafficking accountability, the root ills of economic inequality and lack of opportunity will persist. Sustained corruption reduction requires “bringing state and society closer together, fostering trust, … persuading citizens that they can act effectively and showing leaders that citizens are ready and able to do so,” according to a leading global anti-corruption scholar. 17 Growing such state - society links of accountability and trust will be a prerequisite to any program that curbs the trafficking impunity in Tlaxcala. 1(U) Transparency Mexico, "Índice Nacional de Corrupción y Buen Gobierno 2007," http://www.transparenciamexicana.org.mx/documentos/INCBG/2007/INCBGporEntidad2007.pdf, accessed 5 November 2010. 2(U) e consulta, "La corrupción en el gobierno," 28 November 2008, http://www.e- consulta.com/tlaxcala/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=7426&Itemid=77, accessed 5 November 2010. 3(U) Diocesis de Tlaxcala, "Corrupción, todos responsables," http://www.diocesisdetlaxcala.org.mx/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=958&Itemid=990 , accessed 5 November 2010. 4(U) Pulso, "Acusan a titular de CGE de fomentar nepotismo y corrupción, durante comparecencia," 28 October 2010, http://www.pulso.ws/periodico/index.php/elecciones-2010/9390-cge, accessed 5 November 2010. 5(U) E Consulta, "Hay corrupción en Tlaxcala por falta de planeación en el sector salud: PRD", 25 October 2010, http://www.econsulta.com/tlaxcala/index.php?Itemid=126&id=19932&option=com_content&task=view, accessed 5 November 2010. 6(U) El Universal, “Corrupción florece en los invernaderos," 25 October 2010, http://www.inforural.com.mx/noticias.php?&id_rubrique=339&id_article=65992, accessed 5 November 2010. 7(U) CIMAC, “En cada rincón de la República se comete el delito de trata,” 23 September 2010, UNCLASSIFIED 4 UNCLASSIFIED http://www.cimacnoticias.com/site/index.php?id=44344&print=1&no_cache=1, accessed 5 November 2010. 8(U) Inmujeres, “Trata de Personas: Padrotes, iniciacion, y modus operandi,” July 2009, http://cedoc.inmujeres.gob.mx/documentos_download/101080.pdf, accessed 29 October 2010. 9(U) World Bank, World Development Report, Johnston, Michael, “First, Do No Harm – Then, Build Trust: Anti-Corruption Strategies in Fragile Situations,” September 2010. 10(U) Asian Institute of Management, Johnston, Michael, “Political and Social Foundations for Reform: Anti-Corruption

  • The Status of Rallus Elegans Tenuirostris in Mexico
    Jan., 1959 49 THE STATUS OF RALLUS ELEGANS TENUIROSTRIS IN MEXICO By DWAIN W. WARNER and ROBERT W. DICKERMAN Except for brief mention of occurrence in the states of Mbico and Tlaxcala and the Federal District and of measurements of a small series of specimens collected a half century or more ago, no additional information has been published on Rallus eleganstenuhstris. This subspecieswas described by Ridgway (1874) as Rallus elegans var. tenuirostris from “City of Mexico.” Oberholser ( 193 7) in his revision of the Clap- per Rails (R. Zongirostris) discusseda series of rails taken by E. W. Nelson and E. A. Goldman in July, 1904, near the headwaters of the Rio Lerma, referring to them as Rallus longirostris tenuirostris. Other, more recent major works have referred to the race of large rails inhabiting the fresh water marshes of the plateau of Mbico, two citing elegans and two citing longirostris as the speciesto which this population belongs. In conjunction with other studies in the marshes of central Mkxico, Dickerman col- lected fifteen specimens of this form between July, 1956, and May, 1958. These, plus two recently taken specimens from San Luis Potosi, extend greatly the known range of tenuirostris and add to the knowledge of its biology. All available material of tenuirostris was obtained on loan, as well as sufficient material of R. Zongirostris,including all speci- mens available from the east coast of MCxico, to give us a better picture of the large Rallus complex in MCxico. Sixteen specimens from various populations of both “species” in the United States were also at hand for comparisons.

  • Mexico City – Tlaxcala – Puebla Itinerary
    Culinary Educator: CENTRAL MEXICO: A CULINARY ADVENTURE Rick Bayless itinerary: ® THE CULINARY INSTITUTE OF AMERICA SEPTEMBER Presentedby Travel Programs 20-27, ® 2008 mexico city – tlaxcala – puebla itinerary Mexico City has been the center of the culinary world of Mexico since it was the Aztec capital situated on islands in the middle of a shallow lake. Then named Tenochtitlan, it was a magnificent city of great size – by 1519 it was five times larger than London. To feed its many people, farmers encircled the islands with small floating gardens separated by canals on which they grew fresh vegetables, herbs, and chiles. This was also the hub into which all roads led, bringing different types of food from distant parts of the country to sell and trade at the huge market in the center of the city. With the conquest by the Spaniards, another layer of culinary achievements was added, for these settlers brought with them the ingredients and memories of a cuisine infused by 28 generations of Moorish control. The food found today in Mexico City, the largest city in the world, still reflects its origins with enormous varieties of the centuries-old masa snacks found in the city’s markets and from street vendors. Then there are the traditional dishes, such as moles and pipianes, as well as the exciting dishes that are being created by chefs using traditional Mexican ingredients in new ways. Day 1: Saturday, September 20 (Mexico City) Arrive at the Hotel Maria Cristina before 5:00 p.m. The hotel is located near the Zona Rosa with many shops and art galleries.

With a population of 105 million, Mexico is the 11th most populous country and the most populous Spanish-speaking country in the world. The nation’s capital, Mexico City, is the second largest city in the world. Mexico is composed by 31 states congregated in a federal representative democratic republic. The constitution establishes three levels of government: federal, state, and municipal. The federal government is constituted by the Legislative branch, composed by the Senate and the Chamber of Deputies, the Executive branch, headed by the President who is elected for a single term every six years by a direct national election and is also commander in chief of the military forces, and the Judicial branch, comprised by the Supreme Court.1 Recent Political and Economic Situation The economic policy from 1920 until the end of the 1980’s was based on a centralized economy driven by strong government intervention. During the 1950´s postwar years, Mexico pursued an economic development strategy of “stabilizing development” that relied on heavy public-sector investment to modernize the national economy. Concurrently, Mexican governments followed conservative policies on controlled interest and exchange rates that helped maintain low rates of inflation and attracted external capital to support industrialization.

  • The United States Gives Recognition to Baja California As Boophilus Spp
    The United States gives recognition to Baja California as Boophilus spp. tick-free The measure allows producers to export live cattle with less restrictions. The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) gave recognition to Baja California as a boophilus spp. (Rhipicephalus) tick-free zone, which will allow bovine cattle producers to export live animals more easily. The recognition was granted by the USDA Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS), following the request made in the first quarter of 2019 by the National Service for Agro-Alimentary Public Health, Safety and Quality (SENASICA). The US health agency conducted various analyzes and concluded that ruminants imported from the region represent a low risk for American cattle. The APHIS establishes regulations on the importation of certain animals to prevent the introduction of cattle transmissible diseases. The regulations establish the procedure to request recognition of the animal health status of a region or for the approval of the export of a particular type of animal or product to the US. The APHIS evaluates the applications and, if it considers that the recognition can be granted, it submits its evaluation for public consultation –by means of a notice that is published in its Federal Register. Once the consultation is finished, the health authority reviews the comments and makes a final determination. In the case of the declaration made for Baja California, the APHIS published the request of the agency of the Secretariat of Agriculture and Rural Development (SADER) last March 19th, and requested comments for a period of 60 days. Given that it did not receive any comments, it communicated to SENASICA its determination to add the entity to the list of regions of Mexico declared as free of ticks.

  • Mexica (Aztec) & Tlaxcala Accounts of the Spanish Conquest, 1500S
    Glasgow University Library MEXICA (AZTEC) & TLAXCALA ACCOUNTS OF THE SPANISH CONQUEST, 1500s Miguel León-Portilla,* a Mexican anthropologist, compiled native1519 accounts of the Spanish conquest of Mexico, publishing them in Visión de los Vencidos (Vision of the Vanquished, Attack of the Spanish on the Mixtón town of Nochist- 1959) to present a chronological account from the perspective lan, 1541, in Diego Muñoz Camargo, Historia de of the Indians of Mexico, including the Mexica (Aztec) and the Tlaxcala, ca. 1581-1584 Tlaxcala. Adapted from the Cronica Mexicana, accounts compiled by Fernando Alvarado Tezozomoc, the grandson of Motecuhzoma, ca. 1578 Motecuhzoma summoned the chief officials of all the villages. He told them to search their villages for magicians and to bring him any they found. The officials returned with a number of these wizards, who were announced and then brought into the king’s presence. They knelt before him, and with one knee to the floor, and did him the greatest reverence. He asked them: “Have you not seen strange omens in the sky or on the earth? In the cases under the earth, or in the lakes and streams? A weeping woman, or strange men? Visions, or phantasms, or other such things?” But the magicians had not seen any of the omens that Motecuhzoma sought to understand, and therefore could not advise him. “What can we say? The future has already been determined and decreed in heaven, and Motecuhzoma will behold and suffer a great mystery which must come to pass in his land. If our king wishes to know more about it, he will know soon enough, for it comes swiftly.
